In one foto, there is the splash panel on the driver's side with a securing bracket, apparently for securing something ...but nothings' in them..and I can't find them on the PET. They must serve some purpose. Any idea?
In the second foto, coming front, there are two small yellow wires in a gray sheath, going into a connector, the extending a few inches before being capped. Any idea what this is for? There is nothing similar on the other side.
Thanks.
Harvey

===============================
You seem to be missing the air intake hose for the alternator. On the end there is a loop of hose held by that bracket. The wire you have there is the outside temperature thermistor for the climate control. It usually is inserted into a metal section that is part of of the alternator air intake hose, just before the final end loop.
__________________
The way to install the hose in the bracket is to detach the hose end from the alternator and pull some slack into the fender area. Once the hose is set in the bracket and the liner piece is reinstalled in the wheel well, pull the slack back out and reattach the other end to the alternator. I did it the hard way the first few times.

How does the HVAC system work with no O/S temp sensor?

The HVAC will function, but if I’m not mistaken the controller will think it's really cold outside. When mine was disconnected and I had to slide the temp selector to the far left before it would work. Now that it's reconnected, the A/C works in other positions.
Following are some pictures of the alternator cooling duct I think you are missing. Mine had a hole in it and I guess some critter decided to make a nest in there.
